After years of speculation, beloved Australian band Powderfinger will reform for a major national tour in 2027, 17 years after they last exited the live arena.
Known for their formidable live shows, Powderfinger have played countless sold-out tours across Australia and abroad, as well as all the major Australian festivals of the day. In April 2010, after 20 years together, they announced they were calling it a day and embarked on the mammoth Sunsets Farewell Tour, playing to over 300,000 people along the way. In November 2010, they played their final show… Until now!
Powderfinger will hit the road in an epic, stadium-sized big top, with a range of ticket options (standing and seating), a carefully curated food and drinks lineup, and that special atmosphere that only a travelling rock ’n’ roll circus can bring. It’s part festival, part spectacle, and set to be filled with the communal joy of thousands of fans gathering offline to experience the music they love, together.
The band will also curate an all-Australian lineup of support acts, with different artists joining the bill across the tour. Stay tuned for a very special support announcement during AusMusic Month this November!

Plan Your Visit
Powderfinger
For so many Australians, Powderfinger have defined the moment: a love lost, a connection made, defiance, a life-changing party, an anthem that spoke directly to you, a ballad that hit your heart. For 20 years, Powderfinger were the soundtrack to your life. Some may remember the heady days of the early ’90s, when they’d play bikie bars for a seedy rider. Others discovered Powderfinger in the sweaty mosh pit at the Big Day Out. Or you may have only found them in their twilight days, farewelling the band alongside thousands of fellow fans on their Sunsets tour.
Whichever way you discovered them, Powderfinger burned their name across the Australian music landscape, clocking up 5 No. 1 albums, 18 ARIA Awards, 3 APRA Awards and sales of more than 2.5 million albums.
